For years, scientists have been searching for an example of Moebius symmetry in natural materials without any success. Now a team of scientists has discovered Moebius symmetry in metamaterials - materials engineered from artificial 'atoms' and 'molecules' with electromagnetic properties that arise from their structure rather than their chemical composition.

Read moreMuscle filaments make mechanical strain visible
Plastics-based materials have been in use for decades. But manufacturers are facing a serious hurdle in their quest for new developments: Substantial influences of the microscopic material structure on mechanical material properties cannot be observed directly. The synthetic polymer molecules are simply too small for microscopic observation in mechanical experiments. A team of physicists has now developed a method that allows just these kinds of measurements.
